Isn’t this what the whole constitutional concept of federalism was about in the first place?

The states need to take back their “rights”.

C’mon states. Step up to the plate. Recognize usurped authority, and take appropriate action. Your citizens will support you. Do what is right, not what is convenient or safe. Have courage.

Yes, the liberals running the courts are definitely out of control.

Somebody play this out form me. A state, say Oklahoma, passes a DOMA Act which is now clearly now unconstitutional (SCROTUS opinion not mine). So a minute later two faggots take it to Federal Court. So the Fed court says OKLA. your law is unconstitutional and OKLA says well we are not rescinding this law. What happens next?

Does Obastard send in the national guard or regular Army to arrest the OK legislature? What happens?

Who would have ever guessed prior to 2008 that we would have come to this?

The 10th amendment:
'The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.'

The next time I go in for jury duty I am going to tell the judge flat out that I have no respect for our judicial system, it is corrupt to the core, that the Supreme Court has no fidelity to the constitution or the laws of the states or the federal government, so I cannot in good conscience sit in judgment of my fellow citizens who are accused of breaking some law when it is clear that the words of the law will have no meaning whatsoever to the courts.

And if asked by the judge if I will follow his instructions I will say flatly that since the courts refuse to follow the instructions of the laws and the constitution, I will not abide by his words any more than the Supreme Court abides by the words of the constitution.

The principal result of judicial activism is that it has destroyed our system of checks and balances and has destroyed the very judicial system that they act under.

That should poison the whole jury pool.

Let these judges find an impartial jury when the court system is filled to overflowing with judges who show no impartiality at all to the laws they are sworn to uphold.

It is up to us to spread the word, that there can be no law while Federal employees are inclined to suddenly after hundreds of years of practice and understanding to ignore or rewrite law written & authorized by the people.

This is not how A republican Constitution works, much less how democracy is suppose to be. A judge is suppose to decide a case UNDER the law not pervert the law itself to say whatever he wants in defiance of hundreds of years of proven practice to the contrary. That is called lawmaking a power reserved to the people.

Bloomberg gave a bunch of state legislators money to pass stupid new gun laws here in Oregon, so they did, as my state is ruled and reigned by progressive democrats. There are over 10+ counties, maybe more, that have voted via their commissioners to not enforce those new background check laws. Even Lane county where Eugene,OR (peoples republic of Eugene)is, where Peter Defazio(D) rules and University of Oregon resides, voted no to enforcing the new gun laws!

If the states would quit sucking the federal tit then FedGov’s leverage would dissolve.

Governor Piyush “Bobby” Jindal of Louisiana, has decided to back down and accept and administer the new SCOTUS ruling, as part of ‘the law of the land’.

Jindal’s running for President, donchaknow!

Support Grows for States to Ignore the Federal Courts

So blue states that wish to restrict individual gun rights should do so if the Supreme Court rules for individual rights? Not a good idea. If you don't like the court decisions, then pressure your congress to impeach criminal judges. That's the constitutional mechanism. You need to threaten your local congressional representative that you will air their dirty laundry if they don't cooperate.

A sincere U.S. Congress would undertake the task of clearly defining the real, original meaning and intent of the 14th amendment. The 14th amendment has been used and abused repeatedly by the supremes in various unconstitutional rulings. Finding sincerity in the U.S. Congress, however, is not something that’s likely to occur.

The feds don’t even comply with their own laws (like immigration), why should anyone else?

Voters now believe that states should have the right to ignore federal court rulings if their elected officials agree with them

_______________________________________________________

This is the statement that has me worried....what if your representative or senator doesn't agree with you, or if your representative or senator is beholding to a lobbyists or is being blackmailed...then what????
